None. They don't give a ****. The budget is already cut and even if they did decide to keep it can you honestly see people flocking back from places like here to put up with draconian moderation, 3 minute rules and a ****, dated lay out? I won't be going back. 606 is dead.
Absolutely none. The ending of 606 is because of a budget slash ordered by the Government. The BBC were told to be more accountable and to spend their money more wisely and first in the firing line is the vast sums they spend on their website. So I'm afraid there is zero chance of 606 surviving.
I swear the quality of the articles in the News section has dropped an awful lot. Most of the titles sound like tabloid headlines, with insightful topics like "Are the Germans ruder than the British?"...
The BBC can be ******ed in their not for profit ethos in a total lack of common sense. They have a highly popular service which thousands of people use, and they decide to close it dead - when they could have sold their software to a business and let current users opt in to the new privatised site. BBC wins, they sell a very popular community (which is extremely hard to achieve for any business) for a decent amount of profit, the users are happy as they get the same service (which will probably be made much better with private investment) but have to suffer a few advertisements. But now the license payer loses out on a service, and is still forced to pay exactly the same amount of money every month.
Completely agree. One of the major sports websites could easily have purchased the forum, agreed to link it back to the BBC etc. The other option would've been to leave it to the members. Allow members moderation powers and use the site as a simple forum. The BBC would just need to keep the existing server somewhere and check on it every month. They could've removed the links to remove any affiliation with the BBC incase artices don't fall in line.
It would probably allow 'banter' to flow. Unlike the stuck up, pretentious, easily offended dullwits there at present.
They have to professionally moderate as it's the BBC and the BBC are big enough for law suit. If someone tried to suit me, they'd have to find me first
Last time the BBC tried to sue me they sent me a document of all the potential British laws I was infringing on, I was an Irish national living in Malta with a website hosted in the US I sent them an email asking under what jurisdiction they'd like to proceed as I had nothing to do with Britain - they never got back to me. The law is expensive and that point it became not worth it.
Nomadic people (Greek: νομάδες, nomádes, "those who let pasture herds"), commonly known as itinerants in modern-day contexts, are communities of people who move from one place to another, rather than settling permanently in one location. There are an estimated 30-40 million nomads in the world.[2] Many cultures have traditionally been nomadic, but traditional nomadic behavior is increasingly rare in industrialized countries. Nomadic cultures are discussed in three categories according to economic specialization: hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads, and "peripatetic nomads".
